Both dmen are left defenders.
Nurse:
As a left side defender that is not good. Blood red on his side as he's created is own little war zone for Talbot.
Hanifin (facing less stiff opposition)
Here it's nice and blue ... trouble is coming from the right side which was Van Riemsdyk for most of the season.
Teams for fun ....
Edmonton:
Team wide they just give up a lot from the pay dirt areas.
Flames:
Look how peaceful that looks. Lots of light colours, as they didn't give up as much. |
That is impressive, and quite interesting looking at the Left vs Right side of the ice. It’s tough to blame a heat map solely on a single player, but when it splits down the middle like that, the connection is easier to make.
